Clearest Ocean Blue, Sherwin Williams

"We wanted the look of a tented ceiling without the hassle of fabric in this cabana-inspired family room. Striped in a flat finish on the ceiling, this cerulean blue brightens the entire room." —Jenny Wolf, SL Designer Network Member, New York City, formerly from New Orleans and coastal South Carolina; jennywolfinteriors.com
